Matthew 5:3-16

3“BlessedG3107 are theG3588 poorG4434 inG3588 spiritG4151, forG3754 theirsG846 isG1510 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772.4BlessedG3107 are those whoG3588 mournG3996, forG3754 theyG846 will be comfortedG3870.5BlessedG3107 are theG3588 meekG4239, forG3754 theyG846 will inheritG2816 theG3588 earthG1093.16BlessedG3107 are thoseG3588 who hungerG3983 andG2532 thirstG1372 forG3588 righteousnessG1343, forG3754 theyG846 will be filledG5526.7BlessedG3107 are theG3588 mercifulG1655, forG3754 theyG846 will be shown mercyG1653.8BlessedG3107 are theG3588 pureG2513 in heartG2588, forG3754 theyG846 will seeG3708 GodG2316.9BlessedG3107 are theG3588 peacemakersG1518, forG3754 theyG846 will be calledG2564 sonsG5207 of GodG2316.10BlessedG3107 are those whoG3588 are persecutedG1377 because ofG1752 righteousnessG1343, forG3754 theirsG846 isG1510 theG3588 kingdomG932 ofG3588 heavenG3772.

11BlessedG3107 are youG1510 whenG3752 people insultG3679 youG4771, persecuteG1377 you, andG2532 falselyG5574 sayG2036 all kinds ofG3956 evilG4190 againstG2596 youG4771 because ofG1752 MeG1473. 12RejoiceG5463 andG2532 be gladG21, becauseG3754 greatG4183 is yourG4771 rewardG3408 inG1722 heavenG3772, forG1063 in the same wayG3779 they persecutedG1377 theG3588 prophetsG4396 beforeG4253 youG4771.

13YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 saltG217 of theG3588 earthG1093. ButG1161 ifG1437 theG3588 saltG217 loses its savorG3471, howG1722G5101 can it be made salty againG233? It is no longer goodG2480G2089 forG1519 anything, exceptG1487G3361 to be thrownG906 outG1854 and trampledG2662 byG5259 menG444.

14YouG4771 areG1510 theG3588 lightG5457 of theG3588 worldG2889. A cityG4172 onG1883 a hillG37352 cannotG1410G3756 be hiddenG2928. 15NeitherG3761 do people lightG2545 a lampG3088 andG2532 putG5087 itG846 underG5259 a basketG3426. InsteadG235, they set it onG1909 a standG3087, andG2532 it gives lightG2989 to everyoneG3956 inG1722 theG3588 houseG3614. 16In the same wayG3779, letG3588 yourG4771 lightG5457 shineG2989 beforeG1715 menG444, thatG3704 they may seeG3708 yourG4771 goodG2570 deedsG2041 andG2532 glorifyG1392 yourG4771 FatherG3962 inG1722 heavenG3772.
